Forestry Memories

Extracted Douglas fir - Inchnacardoch Forest

Large Douglas fir trees having been extracted down hill as whole trees by Cable Crane and then dragged on to a flat open track by skidder are now ready to be sorted into roadside piles for the timber lorries to pick up.
The track leads through a well thinned Douglas fir forest where some idea of trees size can be judged from the 5 gallon oil cans on the right hand side. Dalcattaig, Invermoriston.
